Is it a slow knock or fast? If its fast it might be your tires rubbing. If its slow it could be a couple things.

I know it is all a matter of perspective, but is it a "ticking" or "clicking" sound or is it really a "knocking"? I think of a "knocking" as a deeper and louder sound. My truck made a "ticking" sound when I had to replace the drivers side hub (must have been the launches in 4WD).
